Author Notes
Thai food is one of my favorites. The way they match all those amazing spices and flavors creates true masterpieces in the kitchen. Tom Kah Gai Soup, Papaya Salad, Pineapple Fried Rice.. and of course Mango Sticky Rice are so good that I can barely contain my excitement when I am about to walk into a Thai restaurant.
The only downside? Well, many times when you leave the table (or Thailand ;), you can’t help but feel a little heavy…
But what if we could have a healthy Pineapple Fried Rice that doesn’t make us feel guilty nor too full!?
This healthy gluten recipe is completely raw, gluten free and grain free as it’s made with “caulirice” (aka “cauliflower rice”), a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional rice. —Ambra Torelli
